Description

Irradiation tests on a fuel rod in locally enhanced heat flux were undertaken in the Japan Power Demonstration Reactor, with the use of a modified form of the experimental fuel assembly TA♯2R. The report covers design calculations for this test fuel assembly, out-pile experiments and analysis of various safety problems related to in-core irradiation of the assembly (effects of fuel loading on surrounding core), and it is shown that it is possible to irradiate the fuel rod in heat flux as high as 500,000 Btu/hr·ft2.
